Simple Life Lyrics

You're making lists today of all the things you haven't done yet
You're driving everyone crazy, are you having any fun yet
Mother says you ought get married, shrink says here's a little blue pill
Too young for your mid-life crisis, mirror says you're over the hill

There's nothing wrong with you
The simple life gets complicated
There's nothing you can do
Just enjoy the view be glad you made it

You're making resolutions and it isn't even new year's
You could try a new religion, you could wait until the dust clears
Friends say you're way too choosy, shrink says see you next week
Guru says control your breathing you're afraid you might have peaked

There's nothing wrong with you
The simple life gets complicated
There's nothing you can do
Just enjoy the view be glad you made it

'Cause things could be better
'Cause things could be worse
'Cause life can be charmed and cursed
There's fast, slow and stall, no reverse

You're making lists today of all the things you haven't done yet
You're driving everyone crazy, are you having any fun yet

There's nothing wrong with you
The simple life gets complicated
There's nothing you can do
Just enjoy the view be glad you made it

There's nothing wrong with you
The simple life is over rated
There's nothing you can do
Just enjoy the view be glad you made it
